Minnesota Ripknees News Release


Jack Jurewicz

As many of you know, the owner and founder of the Ripknees has been going through treatment for lymphoma cancer. He has been going to the doctor twice a week and the chemotherapy is going well. The recovery process is slow, but he is staying active and swimming when he can. Jack is extremely excited for the upcoming season. He says that the move to the PBL, "couldn't be better." He believes that the Ripknees will be even more successful in the new league with the stronger partners they have obtained. We are all hoping that Jack will continue to get well and are looking forward to the 2007-2008 season.
